Anchor of Pain

One day you’ll see
How far I’ve come
But I won’t to be near you,
I’ll be long gone.
You had your chance
And took it for granted
Like a seed that has to be planted.
Easy come, easy go.
I just have to learn to let go.
The anchor of pain
Lingers through me
“Like fire on a rock”
running water traveling far
A mountain standing high
The rain and the snow
Like fire on a rock, I will go.
